Why Use a Word Counter?

If you're working on an essay, research paper, or any assignment, you probably need to hit a specific word count. Most professors set strict word or character limits, and going over or under can cost you marks. This free word counter lets you check your progress as you write, so you always know where you stand.

It also shows you how long your text takes to read or speak out loud, which is really helpful when you're preparing for a presentation or a timed exam. You can check your sentence and paragraph counts too, so you know your writing is properly structured before you hand it in.
